ALTERNATIVE FEDERAL PAYMENT WITH RESPECT TO PUBLIC ASSISTANCE
EXPENDITURES

Sec. 1118. [42 U.S.C. 1318] In the
case of any State which has in effect a plan approved under title
XIX for any calendar quarter, the total of the payments to which such
State is entitled for such quarter, and for each succeeding quarter
in the same fiscal year (which for purposes of this section means
the 4 calendar quarters ending with September 30), under paragraphs
(1) and (2) of sections 3(a), 1003(a), 1403(a), and 1603(a) shall,
at the option of the State, be determined by application of the Federal
medical assistance percentage (as defined in section 1905), instead of the
percentages provided under each such section, to the expenditures
under its State plans approved under titles I, X, XIV, and XVI, which
would be included in determining the amounts of the Federal payments
to which such State is entitled under such sections, but without regard
to any maximum on the dollar amounts per recipient which may be counted
under such sections. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the term “Federal medical assistance percentage” shall, in the case
of Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and Guam, mean 75 per centum.
